'n Verlore Verstand in Afrikaan means in english "a lost sense" this little game from the developer Skobbejak is quite a challenge. It's loaded with tons of difficult jumps, as well as morphing mazes to solve. I spent a good 4 or 5 hours on this last night, and it only gets more difficult as you advance. It is made up of 18 different levels, and also time trials for these levels as well. There are achievements for beating the level, and the time trial so you will probably be playing it a good bit. There are also hidden flowers on each level i want to say 3 each level. There are achievements for collecting these as well, but they aren't that well hidden.
The visuals for the game are great for a Indie game, and the way the areas morph is just really cool to view. Especially the city map as it changes. The levels do repeat though, like the city, house, snow areas you do more than once. They do however change though it isn't the exact same layout, but it would have been cool to see all the variations thrown into the one map making it longer, and see more beautiful level creations from Skobbejak, because they are really amazing. Can only imagine what else they could have thrown into this game. Like to seen all they had in those imaginations, because what they did put out there is really unique, and eerie to play through.The ending is just beautiful, wish it was little longer, because I enjoyed it so.
The sounds and music work really well with the atmosphere, and also help you a long the way. You have to not only visualize, but keep a open ear as well. I've seen a lot of bad reviews for this game, and I don't think you should read them play it for yourself. Especially if your into puzzlers, and mazes. i think a lot of bad reviews came from people who hate a challenge and threw in the towel early, or people with OCD they hate the uneven number values on the achievements. I saw a lot of gripes about that, and who really cares, you get them all it is a 1000 anyways. So my verdict is, it is a decent game for fans of puzzlers. It isn't the greatest puzzler of all time "Portal" or anything, but it is a lot of fun if you have a few hours to spare on a new title in this genre.
